Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be

I have not winced nor cried aloud.

My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

Are you too busy for God?
Everyday, He texts you "Hello! Are you ready for a day of adventure?"
What's your reply?
Throughout the day, God constantly sends messages to you
You receive the message, but do you read the message?
When you read the message, do you understand?
If you do not, do you ask Him for understanding?
Do you reply immediately, or leave it for later
Or is His message is deleted?
When you're drowning, you bombard His inbox
When you're sailing, you "forgot" your "phone"
Would you text an inactive user?
Ask him out for an adventure?
God's busy creating life, but He specially makes time for you
Are you making time for Him?

God sets the day for you, the little miracles you see
He knows every detail of your day, if your day has been good or bad
He's just dying to give you His wisdom in every situation
He's sitting and waiting by your bed for you to come into His presence
He's watching you working through work, assignments and projects
He's trying to get your attention "Hey! Come into My presence for 5 minutes, I'll give you more strength and wisdom"
He's watching you struggle through the night, it hurts Him
He's patient, He waits for you
And when you finally meet Him, He gets extremely excited!
But He listens to your complains, whinings and things that you want Him to do
Holding up a huge notebook, He records them all. He remembers and knows every detail of your life
He's getting ready to share with you His secrets, He's excited!
But with an amen, you proceed to bed and sleep
"Maybe tomorrow God." you say.
He gives you a kiss and sends the angels to guard you while you rest
He understands the struggles you are going through
He understands how tired you are
But do you know that if you look beyond yourself and to Him,
You will be stronger
You will find rest
You will get wisdom
You will have a purpose and vision
You will have the zoe life
you will be blessed
Don't short-change Him

Love is intentional.
When you're in love, you pursue the object with all your heart
When you're out of love, the object of interest becomes a burden
But love is intentional.
You decide if you love or not.
Don't let emotions, circumstances and the environment affect the love.
Make the decisions to intentionally love and communicate.
Cruxify your flesh; its selfish.

Communication is effective when both parties are interested.
There's a giving and receiving of hearts.
God is interested in giving His heart and receiving ours.
But are we interested in His heart or the things He can do for us?
Be interested in His heart.
Communicate with God, matters of Your heart and He will fill your heart with His.

Has technology made man unfriendly?
iPods are such common devices. Everywhere we go, we see people with the white earphones. But has this piece of advanced technology replaced human touch, affection or communication?
Its common to see couples, husband and wife listening to music or watching movies on their iPods. But they are watching their own programs, listening to their own music. Perhaps its a desire for personal time and space? But shouldn't we include our spouse in our daily activities? What's worst is when one of the two watches a show, while the other stones away on the journey home.
Whatever happened to the love and romance from the start? I'm sure every couple starts sharing and spending time together like super glue in the beginning of a relationship. So when the attraction fades off, you say you need personal space? And then indulge in activities that only you like.
I feel that its such a heart wrenching sight.
Share your music, movies and shows together with a loved one. Keep the passion going! Be on the same page with your other half!
-
I'm on the bus now and I noticed this particular couple engrossed with their own iPods. Not the first time I've seen couples like this. Perhaps they really like to do their own things on their own once in a while.
But not me! Haha. I would want to share music, shows or whatever with Bernice. No interest? I'll try to develop an interest in it. No understanding? I'll not mock at it anymore.
Hey! Cherish your relationships!!

Wow.. This is definitely harder than I expected.. But I really thank God for technology, that even though we maybe miles apart, we can be connected via skype and chat away :)
Thank God for all the things we done in the past.. Pictures really speak a thousand words and the notes, scrapbook and stuffs really help nurse the feeling of missing someone :)
Everyday I look forward to many things. But now I look forward to receiving Bernice's replies, via email or sms and especially looking forward to our skype chats and video calls..
Like what Bernice says, a small sacrifice for a greater future.. I believe with all my heart that we're gonna make it through and we will continue to support each other dreams and visions!
